Do not use your barbecue until you have carefully read and fully understand all the information
in this manual. Please ensure the following:
• Your barbecue is properly assembled.
• There are no leaks in the system (see “Leak Test”).
• The burner is properly assembled, with the Venturi tubes seated over the
valve outlets (drawing E) and that there is nothing blocking the Venturi
tubes (drawing F).
• Ensure that all power cords and / or gas supply hoses will not touch or be
near the surfaces that will get hot.
• The barbecue is in a safe location (see installation).
Ensure that the valve outlets (orifices) are assembled into the Venturi tubes approximately
6 mm (1/4˝ ) and that the valve outlets and Venturi tubes are approximately parallel to the
bottom of the lower body.
Insert valve outlets into Venturi tubes
approximately 6 mm (1/4”)

The Following Must be Checked
• The tank valve including the threads into the tank (drawing C).
• All tank welds (drawing B).
• Regulator fittings and tank connections (drawing C).
• All hose connections (drawing D).
• With a newly filled and tested propane tank attached to the
barbecue and all the barbecue controls turned “OFF”, slowly open
the cylinder valve one full turn.
• Using a brush and soap, soak all the connections and components
listed above and shown in drawings B, C, D.
• Look carefully for bubbles forming, which is an indication of leaking gas.
• Tighten the connections at the bubbled areas until re-testing shows no
indication of any leaks (shut off cylinder while correcting any leaks).
• Shut off the cylinder valve and ensure all control valves are off.
• Do not use the barbecue if any leaks cannot be stopped. Turn off the
gas cylinder valve, remove the gas cylinder and seek assistance from
a qualified gas appliance service mechanic or gas dealer.

Natural Hazards
Insects and Spiders
During shipment or storage, it’s possible that small insects like spiders could
find their way into the Venturi tubes and nest or make webs. This could block
the flow of gas through the Venturi tube causing a smoky yellowish flame, or
prevent a burner from lighting. It could even cause the gas to burn outside the
Venturi tube, which could seriously damage your barbecue. If these occur, turn
off the gas flow and wait for the barbecue to cool down. When the barbecue
has cooled, remove the burner and clean out the Venturi tubes with a brush or
pipe cleaner. Replace the burner and ensure that the Venturi tubes are seated
over the orifice located on the gas valves. Cleaning the Venturi tubes should be
conducted periodically, especially at the start of the season.
Note: Damage resulting from blocked Venturi tubes is not covered under
the warranty.
